Mathilde Denize. Sound of Figures

About

Working across painting, installation, sculpture, performance, and video, Mathilde Denize’s artistic process insists on a continuity between otherwise fragmented or disparate forms. Featuring found objects, and inspired by her time as a set designer, Denize often uses surplus pigments from film sets as the basis of her paintings. Embodying the process of fragmentation and translation, she often cuts up her former paintings, to assemble them into new sculptural constructions. Often resembling the human form, her work aligns questions of the gendered and sexualized body with the act of artmaking.
